What mattered most at UFC 240 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada? Here are a few post-fight musings …

1. The best is still ‘Blessed’

We’ll be hard pressed to see a featherweight able to dethrone Max Holloway after he cruised to a unanimous-decision win over Frankie Edgar in his rebound fight following an unsuccessful jump to lightweight earlier this year.

Holloway’s pace, output, distance management, and durability are a frightening and overwhelming combo. Add in some pretty sharp takedown defense and a lengthy frame for the 145-pound division, and it’s a nearly insurmountable task to defeat the Hawaiian champion.

Holloway (21-4 MMA, 17-4 UFC) was never in any real danger against Edgar (23-7-1 MMA, 17-7-1 UFC). After 25 minutes it looked like he could’ve invited Alexander Volkanovski in from cageside and gone again. What’s more is Holloway is only 27, which means it’s possible we still haven’t seen his peak form. That’s scary.
